LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!; THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1881. ILancastefc fntellfatncer. THtjR8DAY EVENING, DEC. 22, 1881. Jadge Cex's Coarse. Judge Cox comes in for a great deal of adverse criticism because of the freedom of expression which he allows Guiteau, and the leading newspapers of England seem te be particularly disturbed about it, aUueugh one would think that the free and easy proceedings in the French courts across the channel would have ac customed them te the scene presented new for the first time in an American court. On the continent, and in France e3iecially, it is very usual for colloquies between the court and the prisoner te' occur ; Guiteau 's practice is an enlarge ment upon tills, it is true, since he ad dresses everybody and nobody ; still the scene is no mere undignified than such as are often witnessed in European courts, and there is no need for the news papers of England te feel a great deal of astonishment at the license allowed the Washington prisoner. It is particularly a case in which " .,a i'- "-"'" 'J -"- ".""'r: criticism is easy, uut, correction aiiucuit.i It is certainly the fact that Judge Cox has no power of moral suasion te compel Guiteau te held his tongue. If he was in fact repressible by such means then it would be wrong net te repress him. The theory of his insanity compels the admission that he cannot himself control his tongue, and therefore the judge can only restrain it by physical means. Xe doubt many persons will claim that Guiteau is net thus powerless ever himself ; but the same persons must then claim that he Is net insane. But that is the very point that is in dispute. When they decide that he is sane and proceed te treat him as a sine man by gagging him or removing him from court because of his contempt ler its direction, they take from the jury the only issue that it has te try. If Guiteau is insane then it must be admitted that it is such a character of insanity as te make him irrepressible but by physical force. That is the claim of the defense and that is the matter te be tried. "What then is the judge'sduty ? Judge Cox has decided that it is inciim- lent en him te refrain from prejudging the case by treating Guiteau as sane : and that his duty requires him te let ' him expose himself before the jury as though really what he claims te be. We cannot see that he could have come te any ether conclusion ; and the only crit icism that can be applied te his action must be based upon the piesuniptien that he is insane. Should then an insane man be gagged, or should he be removed from the court which he disturbs V The law, jealous of the prisoner's rights, frowns upon both these courses, and hu manity as well. ( 'ertainly se long as the piisenci's conduct is at all endurable, the judgment of a sensible and humane mind would feibid his seclusion fiem his tiial or his physical repression. There is pesiti veadvantage,f urlhcrmere, te the course of justice in such magna nimity, for a jury can in no way better judge the state of the prisoner's mind thau in viewing it in its unrestiaincd manifestations. We consider that Judge Cox is doing se nearly right in his em barrassing position as te deserve com mendatien rather thau condemnation The Heuse Committees. The chairmen et the Heuse com mittees as fixed by Speaker Keifer will net take the country by surprise, as they had lieen anticipated in the main by the newspaper correspondents. The Stal warts could net secure the displacement of Hiscock from the appropriations com mittee, and the administration had tee much political sagacity te lend itself te this movement, which would have been an immediate declaration of war. Judge Kellcy is put at the head of the ways and means committee, but its ma jority is by no means as violently high tariff as the chairman. Mr. Randall is put en this committee, though a third Pennsylvanian, Russell Errett, is also a member of it ;" the ex-speaker was crowded en it no doubt te save Keifer the necessity for putting him en the appropriations committee, in which service he wen his greatest dis tinction and the gratitude of the coun try for his heroic resistance te jobbery and his enforcement of public economy. Such services are net wanted by the pre vailing majority in Congress new. Hew ever, Mr. Randall is assigned te the one chairmanship given the minority by a new courtesy, and some of the Deme cratic leaders are recognized by appoint ments en the niore important commit tees. It is a proper subject of complaint that Mr. Hewitt, one of the ablest and most useful members of Congress, is placed en the insignificant committee en buildings and grounds, and nowhere else. He might very prep erly have been placed upon the ways and means committee te represent Xcw Yerk, as that state with a special inter est in this committee hasn't a member en it. Air. jex is ie:i en me .census committee, as that subject has been his hobby and in its useful work he has rendered valuable public service. Mr. Helman, " the watchdog of the treasury," is given a very insignificant and uninfluential place, despite his abil ity and long publicfservicc. Mr. Whit Whit therne, who exposed Robeson's rascali ties, is punished with banishment te the tail end of the levees committee, while triumphant Robeson, Keifer's best friend, is second en the naval committee, chairman of the committee en expendi tures in the naval department, second en the appropriation committee, and has a place en the committee en rules. Thus is Robeson's administration en dorsed and the exposure of its iniquities condemned. The most striking thing about the appointments is that Pennsylvania gets seven chairmanships. It will be re membered that it is te Pennsylvania that Keifer owed his election, and it is therefore apparent that the proverbial trading character of its politicians drove a geed bargain for themselves in the arrangement te elect Keifer. They made him speaker, mid he new rewards them amply. Complaint is made that Curtin is ignominiously slighted, that "Bayneis retired en military affairs. and Herr Smith is lest somewhere down among the tail, having indignantly de clined the mileage chairmanship'." In all of this can be traced the fine hand of the ruling dynasty in Pennsylvania poli tics, whichjhaving elevated Keifer te his place, uses him as an instrument te pun ish its enemies as well as te reward its friends. Curtin, Bayne and Smith were as suiely marked for tiii; iamily's vengeance as Errett, IJrumni, Barr and Fisher for its favor. Meuat at last throws up the sponge. Alter twisting about for years as au eel en the end of the hook, he makes up his mind that he has no chance of escape, at the hands el a court, though per chance lie may still leek hopefully for ward te a pardon beard. Judge Middle and District Attorney Graham have earned great applause by the firmness and vigor with which they have steed in this case in the gates of the temple of justice. Judge Biddle again honors the name which often has been honored before, and gives the people the assurance of safety they must always feel when they feel that they have an intelligent and judici;iry te rely honest judiciary te rely upon. It is the guarantee of the liberties of the people, the bulwark behind which our demo ecratic institutions safely repose. While it remains strong and upright the country is safe indeed. Tin: vote by which the ordinance re organizing the fire department was finally passed in common council shows that of the seventeen members in favor of it nine are Democrats and eight are Republicans ; of the eight votes against it four are Democrats and four are Re publicans a pretty equal division, le garded from a partisan point of view. In select council Republicans and Dem ocrats were alike in faer of it. All three of the daily newspapers favored a reorganization of the lire department. Eir Democratic majority in the Heuse.

Life insurance spcculateis from Reading have written te Washington agreeing te put $100,000 lisk en him. He's a candidate for the gravcyaid. Spkvkkk K.M)ll was blamed by tlie Pennsylvania Republicans for his ways and means committees. They will please take notice that the fr.e traders and taiiff fei-ic venue men make up a majority of the new ways and means committees. Tiil.

Carrigan, S3 years of age, was killed en the Chester Creek railroad, near Lam Lam ekin station, yesterday. Twe young men, brothers, were drown ed while skating at Pembroke, Ontario, yesterday. The house of Jehn Evans, at Sheridan, Michigan, was burned en Tuesday, and two little children were burned te death. A locomotive and tender plunged through an open draw-bridge into the neith bianch of the Chicago river, at Chi cago yesterday afternoeu, killing the con ductor and seriously injuring the engineer. The neise and smoke of factories along the river prevented the signals being heard or seen by the bridge tender or rail road men. Frederick A. Palmer, auditor of city accounts of Newark, New Jersey, sui ren dered himself yesterday and confessed that during the last three years he had stolen about $123,000 of the city's money and lest it in Wall street operations. He is about 33 ycais of age and has a wife and one child. Watterseu's Opinion of Guiteau. Henry Watterson attended the Guiteau trial and telegraphed his paper that Gui- tcan "impressed me te day as a man of acute nuclei standing, and, though a blun dering, a truculent wit, as a mimic actor en a real stage he certainly cuts no mean figure, and will go down te history as ah ah sehitcly sui generis a sort of weird and wizened apotheosis of dead-bcatism. All descriptions of his personal appearance are at fault. He is simply brazenly and shab bily and scanlly genteel. His voice, in stead of being harsh and unnatural, is both trained and taking ; net resonant like the voice of Voorhees : net cultivated te the pitch of Wendell Phillips, but a homely, a vulgar cress between the two, with a touch et Mulberry boilers and a reminis cence of Rip Van Winkle. He is no mere crazy than I am. He shot Garfield as the last desperate venture in a life of moral obliquity and personal discomfiture." THE HODSB COMMITTEES. HISCOCK HEADS THE MST.

The tax eidinancc was first taken up aud put en thiid icadiug. It was passed unanimously. This measure is designed te take the duty of collecting city taxes out of the hands of the ceustablcs aud provides that the finance committee shall have conttelof the matter and shall ad vcttise for juopesals, the contract for col lection te be awaided te the lowest bid ders in the icspective waids--. Finding themselves new face te face with the heavy wetk of the session, Mr. Jehnsen moved te lay common council oidiu.iuee Ne. 10 (pteviding for the call system of lite dcpaitmcnt, designed by the special committee) en the table. The motieu was lest by a vote of 15 te 8. lie then tai.scd a point of etdcr against the con cen con sidetatien of the bill, holding that the mcasuie was piecisely similar in put pose and eflt'Ct and almost identical in pluasc pluasc pluasc olegy with ene voted down in this body a few weeks age ; from this he contended that pat iiantetit.it y practice and the usages et legislative bodies let bade its censulera tien at this time. Ptesidcnt Lcvcigoed titled the point net well taken, stating that this body had never established any precedent upon the subject aud that council could be a law unto itself with rcgaid te it. Mr. John Jehn John seu appealed fiem the decision of the chair, and the vote showed considerable picpeudcrance of sentiment in favor of the decision, which steed thctefoie as the de cision of the house. The eidiuaucc was then called up let third leading, when Mr. Cox elfcied au amendment in the shape of an cntiie new eidinancc being the mcasutc he had pic- scntcd at the picvieus meeting of council, and which pievidcs for the continuance or the volunteer system under the plan dc vibed by him and published in these col umns.
